Open Source Open Science Workshop 2018

Open Source for Open Science (OSOS) 2018 is a free workshop aimed to familiarize participants with selected open source software and programing tools to be able to conduct quantitative analysis and statistical methods for scientific inquiry. This year we are excited to have six module instructors focusing on an introduction to R, graphics in R, intermediate R tools for data handling, multivariate analysis in R, ecological niche modeling, accessing data repositories, a phylogenetic pipeline tutorial and a WGCNA tutorial. This course is aimed at incoming EEB graduate students; however, you need not be in EEB or a graduate student to attend. In addition, you may receive 1 credit hour of EEBL 612 for this course in the Fall 2018 semester.

“Ideally for my modules, each attendee will open up the .R files and attempt to run every install.packages and library function (they are the very first things written). If there are any problems, they should contact me at acastellanos@tamu.edu WITH the error that they are receiving and the operating system they are using.”
